Amazon.com Review

Ideal for both bare floors and low-pile carpets, this upright vacuum has low noise output and 1,450 watts and 12 amps of power. The Turbo Jet’s two motors operate two different functions: one runs the vacuum cleaner and the other runs the 13-inch brush rolls, which are useful for the dirtiest cleaning jobs. The brush rolls are gear-driven on lifetime belts that will never need replacing. Other cleaning features of the Turbo Jet include a detachable wand and a 9-foot hose that stretches to get into corners and hard-to-reach spots. Four additional accessories--a dusting brush, a crevice tool, and a 360-degree tool for cleaning stairs and upholstery--are stored onboard the vacuum.

The Turbo Jet’s HEPA filter ensures the most hygienic disposal of dirt and debris into the vacuum’s 3-quart disposable vacuum bags. An electronic "bag full" indicator shows when the bag is ready to be emptied and replaced. The Turbo Jet’s 24-1/2-foot cord provides a lot of length before having to plug it into a new outlet and the machine’s spring-loaded, automatic cord winder rewinds the cord at the touch of a button. At only 17-1/2 pounds, this compact vacuum is portable and easy to maneuver. --Cristina Vaamonde

3.0 out of 5 stars Good vacuum, July 27, 2006

Had this vacuum for over a year and it has been flawless. It cleans really well and leaves the carpet nice and fluffed up afterwards. It is also fairly quiet and make an expensive sounding turbine noise (its got a Turbo right :-) The extenable hose is pretty cool and easily retracts back into its self when you're done. It has two motors - one for the suction and one for the agitator. The agitator can be shut off with switch on the handle for hard floors. Also, there is no belt to replace, and the HEPA filter is a lifetime filter. Bag replacement is easy because the chamber comes right off the machine so you can take it outside to change the bag.

Overall it works great.

I've had this vacuum for almost two years now. It is one of the best cleaning vacuums I've ever owned - great suction, great hose that's easy to use. I bought it because it you can't burn the motor out - if it begins to overheat, it shuts itself off. Problem is... it shuts off after 2 or 3 rooms. And beware - if you live outside of San Francisco there isn't really anywhere to take this vacuum for service. And there is no technical support over the phone or on the internet. I own A LOT of Bosch appliances and this is by far their worst ----
To summarize:
It is heavy - impossible on stairs.
It is hard to tell when the bag is full.
The bags are expensive and you must order online.
It shuts off when overheated - can be good, can be annoying.

Would I buy it again? Hard to say.

This is a good, powerful, compact machine that has a strong vacuum. Unfortunately, when it runs so powerfully, overtime, it will overheat causing the thermal fuse to shut the machine done until it cools off. Unlike other vacuum cleaners that ventilate the hot motor exhaust, this exhaust fis essentially "covered" by a filter and the top of the cannister. It was only a matter of time before this machine would have a melt down. The dust bag is not a small as others have described it (it is longer than most). However, the long term reliability of this machine is the main downside of this vacuum. I say it was good for the price: $89.00 close-out.
